Location

If you love architecture & design, this is for you.

Los Angeles is a treasure trove of Mid-Century Modern architecture, characterized by clean lines, open spaces, and a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. Embark on a tour through LA's architectural history, exploring the iconic designs that define this timeless style.

Start with the legendary Case Study Houses, a series of experimental homes designed by renowned architects like Richard Neutra and Pierre Koenig. The Stahl House (Case Study House #22) in the Hollywood Hills offers breathtaking views and innovative design that epitomize Mid-Century Modern aesthetics. Explore neighborhoods like Silver Lake and Pasadena, really close to some of our Villas, where you'll find beautifully preserved examples of this architectural style.
